Okay, let's start in chronological order. Taylor played t-ball on post and had tons of fun. Being Washington, it rained just about every time we were there, but it didn't deter her in any way. But I will think twice next time I am 8 months pregnant and chasing around a two year old boy...
Taylor lost her very first tooth!!!!! It was actually a pretty funny story. I am such a horrible mother. She had been telling me for a couple of days that her tooth hurt. Of course, I just wrote it off as a dramatic 5 year old girl thing. But finally she bugged me enough, I sat down and looked at it. And my jaw dropped. The poor girl had a tooth growing in behind her other tooth, very crooked and sharp. Well, let's just say that her tooth needed to come out ASAP and this experience was quite tramatic for her and she really doesn't want another loose tooth EVER.
Baby Austin is born!!! July 19th, just two days past his due date this time! YAY! He was 8 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long. All arms and legs and skinny as a toothpick, but he is still cute to his mama:)
Labor and delivery went really well and we sure couldn't wait to get outta that hospital and home and back into routine.
The kids were sure excited about their new baby brother. They are both so gentle with him (yes, Logan, I know!) and are very helpful.
My parents came and took the kids home with them. (My sister Tressa had been here helping while I was pregnant and my mom stayed to help with the baby) It was SO nice to have a quiet, clean house just to ourselves. We sure enjoyed taking care of just baby Austin for a little while.
Before they left, we took everyone to the beach at the Sound. It was a gorgeous day and the tide was out, so there was lots of sand and critters to enjoy and explore.
We sure enjoyed containing Logan by burying him in the sand...
Gramma and Grampa Marshall enjoying their newest grandson...
Ty had a two week block leave for the first half of July. So we went to Idaho and had a blast.
The whole fam damily was there, so of course we had to take new and updated family pictures, since we had 2 new additions since Christmas (Joey's Morgan and of course baby Austin).
All the grandkids together. This was a fleeting moment, lemme tell ya.
We just keep growing and growing! Pretty soon we'll just have to photo shop and be satisfied..
Camping trip to Independence Lakes. The ones that were able rode horses up to the 2nd lake before the snow made them turn back, then we all met at the trail head that night for hotdogs and smores. Then the women and kids went home while the men and Morgan slept under the stars. Sad I couldn't be with them :(
Like father like son...
My parents dog had puppies just before we got there. Nine puppies. 9!!!! So the kids had a blast playing with all of them.
It was very sad to leave and have to come home. But we were relieved to be able to walk in the door and get things back to normal. Oh, but wait. When are things ever normal?!?!?!?
We hadn't even gotten all the luggage inside before Logan had to go and get himself sent to the emergency room. Again. He fell and split his chin open and yes, it went all the way through. But it was a nice clean cut and has since healed up nicely. And he has another scar on his face. I guess it just adds to his rugged good looks. Now he looks like Harrison Ford. What a crazy kid!

What a crazy kid!So far, our summer has been great. But things are going to settle down and there won't be much to report on for awhile. Ty goes to Georgia for the next month for mortar leader training and by the time he gets back, summer will be over! So, we'll check in sometime in the Fall.... Til then, love and miss you all!
